Only his surrogate

Thirty five

April.

The view was stunning as we sat down at the table; the ducks just swimming and bathing in the river the birds flying past nothing but a cool breeze, and the hot sun hitting my skin.

It really was beautiful; the waiters bought over our food already, which I'm guessing Leyton had already pre ordered which is something he would do.

You know I love you, don't you?" What is wrong with him today? He's been acting shady all day. - "what do you mean? Of course I do" -
I replied as I drank my drink and continued to eat. These babies were always hungry.
"I never thought I could be with anyone else since Avery, and then I met you. The beginning was not how we planned, and I didn't plan on falling for someone as beautiful and kind and amazing as you" is he serious right now? He's never been this open about how he feels. Ever. My emotions were running wild right now.
He stood up and took my hand so we over looked the river.
"Leyton what's going on?" I giggled nervously.
"I've never felt this way since my high school sweetheart, but I'm glad I do ... you are my everything and more, I can't wait to have a family with you, be with you through everything, protect you and love you as long as you'll let me .."

The unimaginable happened I never expected him to get down on one knee and open the most beautiful small white box ...

I gasped as this beautiful diamond ring glistened in the sun light ..

"April Rhodes, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?" He's asking me to be his wife? Me!!

I was in shock. I stood still for a moment hand across my mouth gasping slightly.

"Yes!!! Yes I will marry you!!" I beamed a smile and let out the smallest squeal in excitement.
He pulled out the ring from the box and slipped it upon my ring finger on my left hand. It was the perfect fit.

He stood up and spun me around just like they do in the movies.

"I love you ..."
"And I love you ... I cannot wait to become Mrs Stevens, and marry you"
